The Bee Movie. What an interesting movie this is. It was released in 2007 and the directors were Steve Hickner and Simon J. Smith. The story of this movie follows Barry the Bee, played by Jerry Seinfeld. After realizing that the human race have illegitimately stolen honey from bees, he decides to do what any rational bee would do; sue the collective human race.

He gets help from a human friend named Vanessa, who is played by Renee Zelleweger and his bee friend, Adam, who is played by Matthew Broderick. The message of this movie is quite obviously about animal rights, but it’s done in such an anomalous way that it could buzz (bee pun!) above the viewer’s heads. In this movie, the U.S. government is mostly portrayed as evil, selfish people that have allowed these large honey corporations to run uncontrollably. This movie is very, very, middle-of-the-road. However, one thing this movie excels at is its pacing.

Everything happens at the right time. And look at that cinematography! It’s very well done, from a purely technical standpoint. But what I don’t like about this movie is the dialogue. The dialogue is legendary for its unfunny jokes and terrible puns. There are a minefield’s worth of terrible jokes in this movie. However, the cringe factor in this movie is sublime.

There is no better movie to awkwardly laugh at than the Bee Movie. And that’s why people still watch it. It’s so awkward that it’s become an inside joke with a lot of people. The beginning of the movie perfectly sums up what I am talking about right now.

“According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.”

How ridiculous is that line? The entire movie goes like that. Bees disrespecting humans. That’s the theme of the movie.

The bottom line is, this is an okay movie for the cringe value. If you love seeing movies that are so bad they’re good, you’ll enjoy this.

If this is for civics, shouldn't you talk about the law case that happens and whether it is realistic, what they left out, and tie into things you are learning in class?
